-- 瑞士蓝筹股指数周四收跌0.35%,跌幅扩大,投资者正在消化各主要市场最新公布的经济和企业数据。 瑞士联邦统计局数据显示,受石油产品和天然气价格上涨的影响,瑞士3月份生产者价格指数和进口价格指数环比上涨0.2%。同比来看,生产者价格指数和进口价格指数下降了2.7%。 欧元区方面,欧盟统计局的最终数据显示,3月份欧元区年通胀率从2月份的1.9%升至2.6%,而核心通胀率则从2.4%降至2.3%。英国2月份实际国内生产总值增长0.5%,此前1月份的增幅经向上修正为0.1%。 回到国内和企业新闻方面,罗氏(RO.SW)同意以最高5.95亿美元收购Saga Diagnostics,其中包括商业和监管里程碑付款,这将使罗氏获得Saga的肿瘤信息分子残留病灶检测平台Pathlight。该交易预计将于第三季度完成。收盘时,这家制药公司的股价下跌了0.67%。 与此同时,百乐嘉利宝(BARN.SW)股价暴跌15.59%,此前该公司公布上半年营收同比下降6.9%至1010247吨,而去年同期为72.9亿瑞士法郎。尽管如此,该公司净利润仍有所增长。这家瑞士巧克力和可可产品集团预计,2026财年以当地货币计算的经常性息税前利润将下降15%左右,但同时指出,其盈利前景可能受到中东地区动荡局势的影响。 “在本财年上半年,可可豆价格下跌,这对未来巧克力市场的发展势头来说是一个利好消息,也为强劲的自由现金流提供了支撑,”首席执行官海因·舒马赫表示。“然而,市场价格下跌的速度异常之快,加上竞争激烈的产能过剩、销量下滑和供应中断,都对息税前利润(EBIT)表现造成了影响,并调整了我们全年的盈利预期。目前,我们的首要任务是恢复销量,引领市场重回增长轨道。我们眼下的重中之重是集中精力——在商业、运营和组织层面。”

Research Alert: CFRA Keeps Hold Opinion On Shares Of Otis Worldwide Corporation
CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:We cut our 12-month target to $90 from $100 following Q1 earnings, valuing OTIS shares at 19.6x our 2027 EPS outlook of $4.58 (down from $4.70; 2026 EPS view updated to $4.18 from $4.25), a modest discount to industrial machinery peers' and OTIS's five-year forward multiple average given unclear timing of ongoing margin headwinds. Service margins were disappointing in Q1 (contracting 160 bps to 23%) amid higher labor and material costs that came in above pricing. Weakness in China has yet to stabilize, though as noted in the past, this represents a shrinking area of OTIS's portfolio and will have a more limited effect going forward. Overall, the latest quarter was more of the same (China weakness/New Equipment decline), though with the added concern of margin quality being pressured within Service - the core profit driver for OTIS overall. While efforts to shore up profitability are underway, we see timing of recovery being uncertain.

Petro Rabigh emerged from a loss in the first quarter, while Thob Al Aseel logged a higher net profit and revenue."The reason for net profit reported during the current quarter compared to a net loss recorded in the same quarter of last year was primarily attributable to improved product margins resulting from stronger refined product pricing and higher sales volumes," Petro Rabigh said in its report.Petro Rabigh rose 10% at closing, while Thob Al Aseel ticked down 1.59%.Meanwhile, the local calendar will be mostly empty except for the kingdom's preliminary figures for its GDP growth rate for the first quarter and the M3 money supply and private bank lending data for March on Thursday.
Research Alert: CFRA Maintains Hold Rating On Shares Of United Rentals Inc.
CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:We lift our 12-month target price to $1,100 from $950 following a strong first quarter, valuing shares at 20.5x our 2027 EPS outlook of $54.28 (in line with previous estimate; 2026 EPS also in line). We believe a higher multiple is justified given URI's firming market leadership within an expanding rental equipment industry. A robust Q1 beat enabled URI to raise its full-year revenue guidance to $16.9B-$17.4B and adjusted EBITDA to $7.625B-$7.875B, citing momentum heading into a busy season. With leverage well below historical levels, we believe accretive M&A deals could serve as a potential catalyst for additional guidance increases. Margin compression has been a sticky issue for URI, but Q1 indicated that pricing may have turned around and that headwinds are starting to ease as quarterly results begin to lap when tariff-related inflation began to pick-up. We remain cautious on margins, though are encouraged by signs of stabilization. New project activity is likely supporting pricing trends, in our view.
